The 47 needs to go via High Spen to go through Highfield before rejoining the A694 at Rowlands Gill. The change was that they would stop serving High Spen Bus Stand, not High Spen in general.
What should be taken into consideration regarding the 10A extension is that, in return for the frequency being doubled, Go North East allocate deckers to the replacement service meaning that 2 buses worth of passengers can be put onto 1. I took this view when the 43/44 was replaced by the 6 - souble the frequency but twice as many seats in return.
